hi Ruslan,

Btw, what are the specs you use as reference about URL encoding and
FCGI environment variable encoding, to consider this behavior as
correct? As far as I remember it is the role of the application to do
this conversion, not the web server itself. I wonder if it is actually
a good idea to do it in IIS directly.

Cheers,
